Choosing a Pro Cycling Jersey

There are many people who are just getting into cycling that like to get pro cycling jerseys that match the ones worn by their favorite pro cyclists in races. Pro cycling clothing is popular and there are some companies that specialize in these products. Many of these pro cycling jerseys are made to be ordered by racing teams so that they all have the same jersey and other clothing for their races. There are a variety of different colors and styles so that the pro cycling jerseys can be used for races during any time of the year.

Styles

The most common style in a pro cycling jersey is the short sleeved version. These jerseys are made out of material that will wick the water away from the biker's skin while they ride to keep them at a more constant temperature during the course of the race. The short sleeved versions can range in length from a capped sleeve to a full short sleeve, depending on the desire of the rider. There are some of these pro cycling jerseys that will zip all the way down the front of them for an easy way to take them on and off without taking it over the head at all. There are others that will only zip down to the navel area, also for fairly easy access taking it on and off. Finally, there is the style of pro cycling jersey which only zips down to the chest area, allowing enough room to get the jersey off of the head. All of the jerseys have a mock turtleneck neckline so that the body is very wind efficient for the ride.

Another difference in style in pro cycling jerseys is what types of pockets are available in the jersey. There are some that have about three pockets in the back of the jersey to allow snacks to be kept there for energy during the ride. There are others that do not have any pockets at all in them. The pro cycling jerseys for women will sometimes have built in bras while others will require that the individual wears a bra in addition to the jersey. These jerseys are made to be worn over the racing bibs that are worn on the bottom, having suspenders that keep the shorts in place. Each of these pieces of clothing are made to stay securely in place during the course of the ride, allowing the rider to stand and sit without the clothing becoming bunched up and uncomfortable.
